When Zhu Cun, the third general of the Huainan general who was appointed as the first Huainan governor and the commander of the two Huainans, took a special steam steamer and steamer ship from Jiangling to the next day. He received news about Huainan suspected of being a large-scale river crossing invasion on the shore from the plate-arm signal tower and telecommunications forwarding station on the shore.

Therefore, in the following voyage, the ship where he was located did not stop at the shore. The various commanders and military officers sent along the coast sent to the shore to replenish the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers gathered through the states, and the generals and subordinates who were ordered to come back to build the boarding matters one after another, forming several follow-up groups, and followed closely along the flow.

Therefore, at noon on the third day after the steam boiler was running day and night, he had already arrived at the Ruxukou, which was located in Luzhou, the ancient battlefield that has been fought for since the Three Kingdoms since the beginning of the Three Kingdoms; then he continued to turn north and drove straight into the vast Chaohu water along the Ruxu water.

This is the latest and sixth largest naval garrison that integrates recruitment, training, transportation and construction functions after the Taiping Army, including Dongting, Poyang, Jingjiang, Fancheng, Taihu. It is also the leader of the newly developed Huainan horse farm and livestock encirclement. Therefore, after Zhucun came ashore outside Hefei City, two local cavalry soldiers formed a patrol and became his guard.

However, Zhu Cun did not stay or rest here. He just sent a quick-moving messenger to Guangling and Shanyang, and then replenished the chariots and supplies on the spot. He ran around the newly expanded and hardened official road toward Shouzhou in the north.

Therefore, when he arrived at Shouchun City, in addition to the newly appointed chief clerk in the local area, there was Huo Cun, the leader of the newly formed 12th Army. As the only mobile force and chief officer of the reserve team to suppress the two Huaihe Rivers, Huo Cun also brought the latest battle situation and information explanations.

The good news is that although it was a massive crossing of the river in Huaibei, it was more like a bluff. Therefore, except for the unexpected burning of some squadrons and watchtowers along the coast in the early stage, no one could be able to conquer the siege to hold on to the crowd; even the Dukou Water Village, which had several key targets, was not shaken.

Therefore, when the 12th army in Qingliu City sent reinforcements to compile six complete battalions, and went north to rescue the two major defense garrisons of Chuzhou and Guangzhou, they easily repelled these invading enemy troops, and then defeated them in the wilderness and captured a lot.

But the corresponding bad news is that the harvest within 20 to 30 miles along the Huai River, including Guang, Shou, Hao and Chu, is basically done. Because these large-scale enemy troops are like human-shaped locusts, they will cause half-splitting half of the crops they pass by, and even the seedlings that have just been planted out or trampled on them.

After interrogating most of the prisoners, they found that the Caizhou army was the ones who invaded in large numbers; but rather than being a large army that took the initiative to invade, it was better to say that the elderly, weak, sick and disabled were driven to Huainan for food under hunger and cold. The only one with more weight was Qin Zongyan, the fifth brother of the thief commander Qin Zongquan.

Because it was the result of a wave of invasion of more than ten rivers along the Huai River, and the war was relatively large and sparsely populated due to war. Therefore, no Qin Zongyan appeared along the way, nor did he find any traces of his troops.

Therefore, the patrol teams in various places are still arresting the "Cai bandits" scattered and hidden between the countryside, while implementing martial law in various cities and towns, and being careful to prevent attacks and plunders from relatively large groups of Cai bandits. Therefore, for a time, the troops used by the two Huai Rivers to prepare for border defense were obviously insufficient.

Therefore, Zhu Cun, who had not yet formed his own staff after taking office, had his first order to send several armed probe teams to cover the cover of the two water camps, and went to the north bank of Huai'an for assault investigation; while getting up and going to the largest prisoner-of-war renovation/collective workplace near Qingliu City, Chuzhou.

At the same time, he privately sent a personal soldier who had been following for many years to transfer to Yiyang in Shenzhou with an unknown handwritten letter, and passed the only floating bridge to keep in contact with each other and entered Henan. This is also the last thing he can do for his own person right now.

At the same time, Zhu Laosan, who had led his troops to inspect Yancheng, Yizhou (now Yancheng County, Henan Province), had just ordered the execution of more than a dozen generals, including the local guardrail envoy and the magistrate. Because they were not willing to slaughter and remedy when the locust plague was spreading, they secretly sent troops to steal and intercepted many business travelers who had passed by after the beginning of spring.

I saw more than a dozen bloody heads lined up on the wooden enclosures under the city wall, and the corresponding guards and soldiers were also disarmed on the spot and demoted to hard labor. For a moment, they were as silent as cicadas and could only communicate with fearful eyes.

However, this matter is not over.

Later, the governor of the State and the military commanders of the State, the left and right patrol commanders and other generals were also missed and dereliction of duty, and were incompetent in control. All kinds of feelings were brought down. Among them, the military commanders of the State and Li Siquan were even beaten on the back of the 20-straight stick in public, which was so bloody that it was so painful that it was lost. All face and prestige were lost.

At this time, Kou Yanqing, who had returned from the rear, finally rushed to catch up with his journey. Then, in the quiet room specially opened in the Yancheng County Government, Zhu Laosan sighed at one of the accompanying leaders who came to him, the youngest but deeply trusted Du Kongmu Guan Jingxiang, who was the youngest but deeply trusted in the middle of the Mushima, sighed:

"To be honest with Zizhen, the King of Chu in Jiangling has already replied in private..."

"But the other side rudes away the marriage call of their children? You don't need to worry about it if you stay behind..."

Jing Xiang said in a quiet voice:

"I didn't shirk it off, but the regulations I proposed made me a little embarrassed!"

Zhu Laosan sighed more and more, and then he spread a letter brought back by Kou Yanqing on the desk. However, Jing Xiang could not help but say in surprise after just a few glances:

"If you do everything in this way, you will probably seriously shake the foundation of staying behind and the current situation!"

"This is exactly what I am in a difficult situation! The world is getting darker and harder to understand now; I want to ask everyone for a follow-up background and a way out. But don't say that these people have helped and contributed their efforts at the beginning, even my old brothers may not be able to give up!!"

Zhu Laosan said helplessly:

"If you take the clarification of the left-behind clarification, if you dig out the reason why the king shirks this, or you can take it step by step. Although it is suspected of being ungrateful, it will at least be beneficial to ease and improve the current situation."
